Re: After 16 Years...Orange Bricks Going OOP
with all these re-releases, would be interesting if we actually got a Dragon Box re-release.

Backing up VHS's to DVD/Bluray
Been backing up my tape collection to save space and thought of a fun way to do it. Its somthing similar I did with my home movies. I scan in the case art and build sort of a digital shelf this way I can select thru the tapes and choose the one I want, similar to those sega game collections with the...

Re: Would you prefer replacing the VAs or having AI voices of them?
Why, though? Why does it get in the way? If someone is hired to replicate an existing voice, I don't understand how it impacts their performance in any way. Voice shit is hard. Now, combine trying to mimic someone else with having to actually act and create a good performance while matching lip fla...

Re: Does Toriyama regret the racist caricatures he included
I really doubt he regrets it, or even thinks much of it. I'd assume any designs that got changed to involve less racist caricaturing was due to external pressure and backlash , rather than out of any genuine remorse. Regardless in reality yes black folks tend to have fuller (bigger) lips than other...

Re: Dragon Ball and Libraries (And Librarians)
. It is interesting Monika Antonelli states that they're against censorship, while the Manga itself (depending on the version *also unsure of the date of this editorial response*) is censored. I don't hold her or really any librarian against that as I feel most people don't realize the manga has ne...

Re: Dragon Ball and Libraries (And Librarians)
I finished the manga by renting the whole series from the Library as well! I was glad to do so because I didnt have the money to buy the manga.

Re: OH NO! Toriyama lost his favorite wooden pen holder
The actual source of this quote is not the CBR article, but rather it comes from a recent Q&A put up on the official Sand Land theatrical film website , which we translated in full in a news post . (The translation on that site seems a little strange, like "after finishing all the episodes...

Re: AB Video to release OG Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray
Honestly, if we're going to get any upscale, I would just rather prefer a SD-Bluray or HD-SD source. The Dragon Box, scan wise, already looks really good and with some color correction (and the broadcast audio) would be the best (and arguably most authentic) way to watch the series.

Are you done with Dragon Ball?
I've been seeing a lot of threats that pick apart, expose, of have general issues with the franchise, the author, characters etc. Sometimes, these threads have rather heated arguments in them. I honestly get the feeling some people are either growing out of Dragon Ball or have already and might not ...

Re: Dragon Ball and Toxic Masculinity
I agree with a lot of people here, I think it exists but I dont really it's as deeply imbeded as people would think. I think the closest we got to toxic masculinity was the initial inhouse FUNimation dub. In terms of 80s/90s Japan/Manga, I'd still say its not really there. Vegeta is flawed character...

Re: Beckett Dragon Ball Z Magazine scans?
Wow, I haven't thought about these magazines in quite some time. I have a decent number of them at my parents home. The last time I saw them they were in great shape, next time I go by there I'll grab them and share them to the internet as well just incase I have any that may not be scanned online ...

Re: Beckett Dragon Ball Z Magazine scans?
I actually have a few magazines but they're in awful shape. I was an awful kid. XP If I ever get around to buying some, I'd be happy to do that. That magazine was gold. Just checked archive and someone is scanning them!! I don't know if they'll do all of them tho. I did love that magazine so re-rea...

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 89 - Official Discussion Thread
I think the Dragon Ball world feels more real this way, because it would be weird for a high School to have only white students and teachers. My only complains with the chapter is that they made Trunks too much of a goof, I understand that he is a teen and he dosent have to be a genius, but they ar...

I always enjoyed Schemmel serious Goku. I always felt his goofy side of Goku felt forced, even in the newer dubs and it just became a huge turnoff to me. Ian Corlett I think had the best balance.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: Manga Chapter 89 - Official Discussion Thread
This did feel more like Dragon Ball again (which Super Hero does too *sans cell*). I'm glad because Battle of Gods felt a lot like Dragon Ball and that seemed to have been the biggest aspect people didn't like and that gave us Revival of F and the constant loop Super has been in ever since, so I am ...
